- 3Should I quit a burnout job after only a few months?Seven-day workweeks and overwhelming operational challenges can cause severe burnout within weeks of starting a role. People get trapped in these positions because they worry leaving after five or six months will raise a red flag to future employers, leaving them unsure whether to stick it out for a year or take a better opportunity.
- 2How do I recover my career after working in a small HR role?Recruiters and hiring managers often get thrown off by small employee group experience, letting it overshadow previous work and hurt overall career prospects. This perception makes it difficult to advance or secure larger roles when interviewing for future positions.
- 2Should I keep old roles on my resume?Dropping older roles lets you highlight continuous recent experience and keeps the resume simple if you haven't written one in a while. However, it leaves a large gap, making it hard to decide whether to just stick to recent work or add older jobs back in.
- 2What should I change on my resume for a career fair?Focus on strengthening your bullet points and adding meaningful details tailored to the specific jobs you want. Getting targeted feedback helps clarify your next steps, which is critical for making yourself more competitive when local job options are slim.
